With the launch of the CZ100 in 1960, Honda created the class of machine known as 'monkey bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. The power unit was the C100 step-thru's reliable four-stroke single, and an ultra-short wheelbase, small wheels and a vestigial fuel tank were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could be fitted into the boot of car. A larger version, the ST50/ST70 Dax, with a slightly bigger and more practical frame, was introduced in 1969.

This Honda Dax was acquired by our vendor (the second owner) in 2012. The machine is offered with an invoice dated 1991 for its first service, carried out when the recorded mileage was 354. The current odometer reading is 943 miles and it is not known when the Dax was last used. Also on file is the Honda correction card, recording the registration date as 1st August 1991. The model is identified as a Honda ST50-K and was supplied by Fosters of Manchester. The machine was one of a pair of ST50s supplied together as a 'his and hers' set for the original owners to use while camping. The file also includes the service book, owner's manual, and old/current V5C documents. The engine turns over.

Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, history, authenticity, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
